History & Company Ownership

Applied Shelters,
Inc. was born in April of
1981 when, at that time, the major topics of conversation were energy
consumption, conservation, alternate sources, and new methods of
building design and insulation. Since its inception we have been committed to providing high quality home remodeling
services that are sensitive to comfort and good design with absolute
honesty and integrity.

Applied
Shelters, Inc. was founded by Richard Herman. With undergraduate
and masterís degrees, he served the dual role as owner and also as an
educator at a local high school until his retirement in 1999.
Since then he has since been concentrating solely on the residential
remodeling business.
